According to the act, funds will be allotted based on several criteria which will consider ongoing investment objectives in every county, demographic and administrative-territorial data and the financial capacity of the beneficiaries.
Funds will be granted both for new and ongoing investment objectives. The Development Ministry will analyze the proposals submitted by county councils and will draw up a final list with investment objectives and the amounts earmarked for the current year. The list will be subsequently approved through order of the minister.
The new program will include all the other projects funded so far through the program targeting the rehabilitation of local landmarks, the program for the development of infrastructure and sports centers in rural areas, as well as priority multi-annual programs for environment and water administration.
